Come stay in our restful vacation cottage in a quiet, forested neighborhood, ¾ of a mile from Lake Michigan beaches. This tranquil getaway is just an hour drive from downtown Chicago and has parking in front for up to 5 vehicles.

The home sleeps a total of 8 people, and your kids and good dogs are welcome here! There are 2 queen bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms. The bedrooms have built-in shelves and closets for your belongings. The living room has a lovely sofa that pulls out into a queen bed.

Sliding glass doors off the kitchen lead into a beautiful sunroom enclosed by floor to ceiling windows, featuring an ultra-comfy full-size pull-out futon and its own entrance heading out to the patio. There is fabulous natural light, with windows and skylights throughout the house.

The yard includes a limestone patio, a built-in fire pit, lots of Adirondack chairs for lounging, and a large outdoor dining table that seats 10. There is a gas grill + utensils for your summer cookouts.
